The Obsessed

Doom Metal Pioneers

The Obsessed is an American doom metal band that was formed in the late 1970s by Scott "Wino" Weinrich, who is the band's guitarist and vocalist. The band is known for its heavy, slow, and melodic music which has been influential in the doom metal genre. The Obsessed has had several hiatuses and lineup changes throughout its career, with Wino being the only constant member. After releasing a self-titled debut album in 1990, they followed up with "Lunar Womb" in 1991. The band initially split up in 1995 but reformed several times, releasing "Incarnate" in 1999, which is a collection of rare and unreleased tracks. Their live performances have been well-received by fans of the genre, and "Live At The Wax Museum" captures one such performance, although details about this particular release are less widely documented. The Obsessed's influence extends beyond their own albums as they have contributed to shaping the sound of doom metal and inspiring many bands within the genre.
